HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY, SCOTLAND

SUMMARY JURISDICTION, SCOTLAND

Section 56 of the Law Reform (Miscellaneous Provisions) (Scotland) Act 1990 provides for applications to the court for the evidence of a child to be taken by means of a live television link in both solemn and summary proceedings. Section 57 of that Act provides for the transfer of a case from one sheriff court to another in the same sheriffdom to enable the evidence of a child to be given by such means where suitable equipment or accommodation is not available at the former court. This Act of Adjournal sets out the form of such applications and prescribes the procedure to be followed.
